UZika Unokubangela iGlaucoma Kwiintsana, iMiboniso yoPhando eNtsha

I-flash flash: Kungenxa yokuba iiOlimpiki zasehlotyeni eRio zifikile zadlula oko akuthethi ukuba kufuneka uyeke ukukhathalela uZika. Sisafumanisa ngakumbi nangakumbi malunga nale ntsholongwane. Kwaye, ngelishwa, uninzi lweendaba alulunganga. (Ukuba awuzazi iziseko, funda le Zika 101 kuqala.) Iindaba zamva nje: IZika inokubangela i-glaucoma kwiintsana ezazichanabeke kwintsholongwane esiswini, ngokophando olutsha olwenziwe ngoososayensi baseBrazil kunye neYale School of Public. Impilo.

Besele sisazi ukuba iZika ingaphila emehlweni akho, kodwa lo lolunye uloyiso olothusayo kuluhlu lwempahla yokuzalwa yeziphene ezinokuthi zibangelwa yintsholongwane kwiintsana ezisanda kuzalwa-kubandakanya imeko enzima ebizwa ngokuba yi-microcephaly, emisa ukukhula kwengqondo. Abaphandi baseYale bafumanise ukuba iZika ikwachaphazela ukukhula kwamacandelo esiso ngexesha lokukhulelwa-yiyo loo nto intetho malunga ne-glaucoma. Sisifo esintsonkothileyo apho ukonakala kwimbonakalo ye-optic kukhokelela ekulahlekelweni kombono okuqhubekayo kunye nokusisigxina. Yimbangela yesibini ekhokelela kubumfama, ngokweGlaucoma Research Foundation. Ngethamsanqa, ngonyango lwakwangoko, unokuhlala ukhusela amehlo akho ekulahlekelweni kombono onzulu, ngokutsho kwamaZiko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo.

Olu nxibelelwano phakathi kweZika kunye ne-glaucoma sisiganeko sokuqala salo hlobo; Ngelixa bephanda i-microcephaly eBrazil, abaphandi bachonga inkwenkwe eneenyanga ezintathu ubudala ethe yavela ukudumba, iintlungu, kunye nokukrazula iliso lasekunene. Bakhawuleza bafumanisa ukuba kuneglaucoma kwaye benza uqhaqho ukunciphisa ngempumelelo uxinzelelo lwamehlo. Ngenxa yokuba le yimeko yokuqala, abaphandi bathi uphando olongezelelweyo luyafuneka ukumisela ukuba ngaba i-glaucoma kwiintsana ezineZika ibangelwa kukungabikho ngqo okanye ngokuthe ngqo kwintsholongwane, nokuba ngexesha lokumitha okanye emva kokubeleka.

I-ICYMI, le yi-BFD kuba iZika ibisasazeka ngokungathi iphambene; inani labasetyhini abakhulelweyo e-US kunye nemimandla yalo esulelwe yintsholongwane liye laxhuma ukusuka kwi-279 ngoMeyi 2016 ukuya ngaphezu kwe-2,500, ngokutsho kweCDC. Kwaye kufuneka ukhathalele nokuba awukhulelwanga okanye uceba ukukhulelwa nanini na kungekudala; UZika unokuba neziphumo ezibi kwingqondo yabantu abadala. Isenokuba lixesha lokufumana ezi zitshizi zokulwa neZika (kwaye soloko usebenzisa iikhondom-iZika inokosulelwa ngexesha lokwabelana ngesondo nayo).
